HOW TO PREPARE FOR AIR RAIDERS Local Organisation Gives Hints on Preparing Shelters

Trench Sinking In Gardens

WHERE SPACE is available as in a garden, a trench provides excellent protection except against direct hits.

In order that the trench shall be clear of any chance of being buried under wreckage it should be at least 20 fect from a building.

The drawings on this page, placed at 3 ft. intervals, with 4":" show a complete trench of simple spreaders fixed between them at the construction to accommodate six top and bottom to hold them apart (se figure 2). Instead of currugated persons.

The digging can be done in stages: one of the advantages of a trench is that it will afford some protection at any stage of its construction

IMPROVE WITH OPPORTUNITY

In ordinary medium soll a single digger should be able to excavate from 00 to 20 cubic feet in four hours, and his first step should be to dig the seller chamber, 10 ft. long, to a a depth of 3 ft. When this has been completed the six occupants will obtain protection from splinters and blust by sitting on the bottom of the

trench.

'Not Guilty' Verdict In Murder Trial

A Look Through The "Telegraph”

50 YEARS AGO

European skilled labour will in all likelihood find ample employment and reward in the rallway and mining Enterprises of China during the last decade of this century, and the next rentury will witness the grand trans- formation of vast Cathay into one of the most

progressive nations of the World. In view of these contingencter, which are by no means remote or in- probable, we think the young geneTA- tion should take time by the forelock and earnestly prepare themselves for the coming erents. Teachern, school managers, and tutors generally should abandon the fossilised methods and pro- grammes of tuition enforced a century nge, and take to there modern and prae- tical systems of teaching.

When we have witnessed a prizo dis. fribution in this colony at which the skilled accountant, engånger, navigator, miner, or industrial student shall be awarded a prize for his achievements in the profession he has chosen to follow, then, and not until them, we many congratulate our schools on their eficiency A training establishments, and on their general subserviency to the public weal.
